Section A
Answer Question 01.
Source A
From a letter to the British government from William Miles, 1791. Miles was an English
writer living in Paris and acting as a spy for Britain at this time.
Robespierre is cool, measured and resolved. He is truly a republican. He does not
support republicanism simply to win support from the multitude, but from the opinion that
it is the very best and, indeed, the only form of government by which men should be
ruled. He is a stern man, rigid in his principles, plain, unaffected in his manners and with
no extravagance or vanity in his dress. He is certainly above corruption, despising 5
wealth and with nothing of the usual excitability of a Frenchman in his character. I watch
him very closely every night. I examine his face and features with my eyes steadily fixed
on him. He is really a character to be contemplated. He is growing in confidence every
hour but, surprisingly, the whole National Assembly consider him as insignificant. When I
mentioned my feelings about him to one of the deputies and said he would soon be the 10
man of influence, I was laughed at.
Source B
From an address to the National Convention by Maximilien Robespierre,
5 February 1794.
Our revolution must bring liberty, equality and a love of justice. The country must secure
the well-being of each individual and each individual must take pride in his country.
In your political conduct you should establish measures that lead towards the public
good, and reject those that encourage selfishness. I am not justifying any excess, but we
have more to fear from an excess of weakness, than an excess of energy. 5
Happily, virtue is natural in the people. Having overthrown despotism, if the people do
not reach the heights of their destiny, it can only be the fault of those who govern them.
Government during a revolution must combine virtue with terror. Terror is a natural
consequence of the principle of democracy. It has been said that terror grows from
absolute government, but government in a revolution upholds the absolute power of 10
liberty against tyranny. Internal plotters and traitors are the allies of enemies abroad.
Death to the villain who dares abuse the sacred name of liberty.
